Chapter 68 68
After adding Lennon Campbell to the list of suspects, the Bureau of Investigation, in conjunction with the local police, conducted a wide-ranging search of his possible hiding place.
During the search, they managed to find Lennon Campbell in a city to the west, and set up an ambush on the way the other party must pass. They were only close to arresting the man who used to be the head of the technology department...Unfortunately It was an accident during the capture process. They were involved in a sudden terrorist attack when they were in ambush. In order to subdue the terrorists and evacuate the crowd, they missed the trace of Lennon Campbell.
And until today, more than half a month later, the Bureau of Investigation did not find any news about Lennon Campbell. This man seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and even the traces of his existence were about to be erased.
Now is the time when autumn and summer are handing over, the cool breeze is blowing, and the maple trees on both sides of the road are almost mature, showing a bright red with a little light yellow.
In the Crime Squad's office, Shen Lu and the others had just finished analyzing the recent crimes in country C, and they were discussing routinely around the table to continue to track down Lennon Campbell.
"We are constantly updating and improving our hunting plan, but Lennon Campbell is also constantly upgrading his experience in evading us." Agent Field frowned, "He's learning too fast, and he has superb technical means as his hole card, so we can't wait any longer Bad for us."
What's more, their serious crime team also has a time limit for handling cases. According to the regulations, no matter how bizarre the case is, if it cannot be resolved within three months, it must be postponed. After all, there are many other important cases in society that need to be solved urgently ...but that would make it more likely that Lennon Campbell would grow into an unmanageable behemoth out of their reach.
And the people in their group naturally have a good vision of arresting Lennon Campbell within three months.
Newman fiddled with the pen between his fingers with an unclear expression: "Then, what should we do now?"
"Currently we can only use the news of suspected Lennon Campbell from the local police station to search. This state is too passive. If we want to take the initiative, we can only find out what Lennon Campbell is thinking, and then use his purpose to attack him. Reasoning about possible places to go," Agent Field fixed his eyes on the place where his hands were folded, "Now there is someone who can ask for help, but it is the next choice for us to ask for help."
"Who is that?"
Agent Field paused. "Francis Randall."
"..." Shen Lu noticed that Kelly subconsciously glanced at him, turned his head and smiled at him, and then said, "If you don't consider his own threat, Francis Randall is indeed very suitable to assist us. Once he Having cooperated with Lennon Campbell in committing crimes for five years, I must have some information about Lennon Campbell's criminal purpose and means of committing crimes; secondly, he is proficient in criminological knowledge, and can help us in the case much more than ordinary assistants."
"Indeed," Agent Field pondered for a moment, "In fact, I already contacted him a few days ago."
Arvin asked curiously, "Did he agree to assist us?"
Detective Field didn't nod or shake his head: "He made two requests. One is that we can get him to serve his sentence outside of prison, and he wants to choose the place where he will serve his sentence."
The corner of Newman's mouth couldn't help twitching: "Why doesn't he dream faster?"
It is very difficult to apply for serving a sentence outside prison. Over the years, those who have been approved to serve a sentence outside prison are all criminals who have committed very minor crimes and surrendered themselves in good circumstances, or have performed well in prison and their sentence will end soon. prisoner.
For a serious prisoner like Qin Qiu who wanted to serve his sentence outside the prison, it was undoubtedly a fantasy.
"If he doesn't want to change the terms, then we can only try to negotiate with the higher-ups for him," Agent Field rubbed his forehead in distress. Qin Qiu had caused so much trouble for them in just one month. It's also one of the reasons why he doesn't like this man, "then he has another condition."
"..." Kelly reacted for a long while, "Isn't it already two conditions just now?!"
"However, it's not so much a condition as a request to Sean alone."
Hearing Agent Field mentioning himself, Shen Lu's originally calm heart couldn't help jumping.
"He hopes you can go to the prison to meet him." Detective Field quietly looked into Shen Lu's eyes, "Would you like to go?"
Shen Lu pursed his lips. He knew that the people in the group really didn't want him to have too much contact with Qin Qiu, otherwise during the time when he was dealing with Qin Qiu's case, these people wouldn't deliberately keep him, who is good at profiling. We processed documents in the station.
Now, his boss handed over the choice of contacting Qin Qiu to him, is it for testing, or is there some other intention?
He couldn't help thinking more, and after a long time he hesitated and said, "I think, if I agree to see him, maybe I can get some room for turning around the last condition."
In fact, what Agent Field is thinking now is exactly what Shen Lu said, but Shen Lu brought up the benefits so bluntly, which makes him somewhat uncomfortable.
Originally out of concern for Shen Lu's future, he was unwilling to let the other party deal with Francis Randall again, but now the situation forced him to compromise his thoughts, just like Shen Lu can be used at will Props the same.
But since Shen Lu himself agreed to go to the prison, in order for Lennon Campbell's case to be successfully concluded, he did not intend to deliberately stop the other party.
Agent Field sighed helplessly: "Then I'll leave it to you to continue negotiating with him. Try to persuade him to relax the conditions. If it doesn't work, you can come back. Let's find a way together."
"No problem," Shen Lu smiled consolingly at his colleagues, "I will try my best to negotiate with him."
After making a decision, the serious crime team contacted Qin Qiu's prison for serious criminals again, and obtained permission to visit the prison.
The prison for serious criminals is located in the northernmost city of country C. The climate here is always cold and the population is sparsely populated. It is indeed an excellent place to isolate prisoners from society.
Shen Lu took the plane for more than two hours, and took another hour by car after being picked up by the prison police officer. On the way, he thought of countless possible requests from Qin Qiu and the corresponding countermeasures——
But I didn't expect this man to propose a relationship with him at public expense? ? ?
Reminiscent of the man's various previous convictions, Shen Lu subconsciously felt that the other party was playing tricks on him again.
When his eyes touched the prison uniform and shackles on the opponent's body, his heart trembled violently again.
Qin Qiu gave up death for him, and decided to come to prison to serve his sentence and atone for his sins—at least the man said something right at the beginning, no matter whether he is willing to admit this feeling, everything the man has done for him is here and will not change .
"You are confused."
Shen Lu looked at the man who suddenly spoke in puzzlement: "What exactly do you want?"
"My ideal has always been to make criminals disappear from this world," the man clasped his hands in front of his chin, staring into Shen Lu's eyes seriously and seriously, "everything I did before was to pave the way for my ideal. If the criminal disappears, no matter how much blood I get on my hands...but what I want is not just the appearance of 'the criminal disappearing'."
"Do you know why I hate criminals so much?"
Shen Lu asked obediently: "Why?"
"Because all the pain in my childhood was given by the criminals," the man replied softly, "and the criminals not only hurt me, but also many more poor people who were deeply in pain because of their selfish desires and atrocities... I hate They, because they can arbitrarily take away other people's happiness for their own selfish desires."
"So, this desire to 'make the criminal disappear' is just a substitute for what I fall back on in desperation."
Having said that, the man suddenly stopped talking, and his blue eyes fiercely wound around the young man in front of him with a hint of expectation.
"What I really want is 'happiness', and I believe that with you by my side, I can get the happiness I never imagined in the past."
Shen Lu was kind but not cowardly, smart and persistent, Qin Qiu thought, such a young man would never be able to deprive others of happiness.
This young man once worked with the darkness, but he suppressed the darkness as he grew up and gradually turned into a soft light. Such a person, no matter which side he cares about in the end, that person will definitely be able to reap happiness from him.
Thinking about it this way, Qin Qiu even felt that Shen Lu should always be like this, not to share too much emotion with anyone, to treat everyone who needs him with equal kindness, and finally let everyone in the abyss can be redeemed.
But it doesn't work.
Qin Qiu thought, because now he also has an ugly selfish desire, that is, he wants Shen Lu to save him alone.
Shen Lu fell silent after hearing the words.
What is happiness?This kind of illusory vocabulary is something that he doesn't dare to extravagantly ask for, because all the good things in the world cannot be eternal. If he wants to get something with the mentality of extravagantly seeking eternity, the result will definitely be that he will be deeply hurt.
He reminded with complicated eyes: "I can't bring you happiness forever."
"But even if you wanted to send me to prison before, even if you kept rejecting me, what I experienced was still a feeling of happiness. I can't imagine what else would make me feel unhappy," the man narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I said that all of this has nothing to do with what you do to me, as long as you are still the one who desires the world to become better..."
The man paused: "Then my whole life belongs to you."
Shen Lu lowered his eyes and pursed his lips: "Even if you stay by my side, it's impossible for me to treat you with the same affection?"
The soft smile on the corner of Qin Qiu's mouth didn't change at all: "You're willing to let me stay by your side, that's enough for me."
This man's attitude is so humble that he doesn't look like him at all.
Shen Lu rubbed his temples, he knew that what Qin Qiu said at this time might not be the truth, but he couldn't help but give in to the other party's attitude.
He sighed deeply, and after a while, he suddenly leaned forward, tugged at the collar of the man's prison uniform, half helplessly and half fiercely said: "What I just said was a lie... I seem to have fallen in love with you."
After escaping for a long time, he had to face up to his attitude towards men——
He just can't see this man doing dangerous things that violate morality, can't see the man showing sadness or pain, and can't see the man repelling each other from the world, so that he buries himself alone in the darkness.
Qin Qiu's pupils trembled suddenly, he moved his lips, but in the next second he tried his best to keep his smile on his face.
"I like you," Shen Lu repeated earnestly, his face moved forward a few inches, the tip of his nose touched the man's nose ambiguously, "so you remember to behave well in prison."
Qin Qiu finally couldn't maintain his expression: "..."
Ah, the warm confession suddenly turned into a lecture in prison, this is really his Sean.
"Work harder, don't cause trouble, build a good relationship with the prison guards, and don't always think about calculating others when you encounter troubles, remember to ask the prison guards to deal with the problem first," Shen Lu was unaware of the man's complicated psychological activities, and still whispered earnestly , "If you have any needs, please ask the prison guard to contact me. I will prepare something and ask someone to bring it to you."
"Although you are serving a life sentence, if you behave well, you should be able to win many opportunities to visit the prison, and there is no precedent for you to be released from prison after a life sentence." Shen Lu paused, "If you have the opportunity, you should get out of prison as soon as possible. Tell me so I can make arrangements for you in advance, do you hear me?"
The so-called precedent in Shen Lukou refers to the fact that criminals who have been imprisoned for 50 years have made an exception and obtained permission to be released from prison.
50 years, what a long time.
But Shen Lu didn't care, and Qin Qiu didn't even care.
"Ah."
The man chuckled twice, his blue eyes were so gentle that water was about to overflow: "I heard it."

The author has something to say:
The prison guard who was verbally assigned a heavy responsibility by Shen Lu:? ? ? ? ?
But please rest assured, it is impossible to meet each other after 50 years of seclusion!
